Green Bay man found outside home died of hypothermia

Brian Hicks was found about 7:45 a.m. in the 1700 block of East Shore Circle on the city's northeast side. An examination found he was wearing inadequate clothing and died from prolonged exposure to the cold weather, Green Bay police said Tuesday. Police have ruled out any trauma or foul play.

Preliminary toxicology results indicate that alcohol was a factor in his death, though a comprehensive toxicology test has been ordered and the results are expected in about two weeks, police said.

Authorities are working to establish a time frame of Hicks' whereabouts up to the time of his death, though police, based on interviews, believe he may have taken a taxicab home from a bar on University Avenue this weekend. Hicks lived alone. His car was found at the bar.
